...exactly what the Treasury would do, but one way it could work would be for the government to offer to directly purchase all newly originated loans by banks and mortgage lenders provided the loans carry rates of 4.5% or less. Proponents of the plan say the plan would be costless, and might even turn a profit. That's because based on current Treasury bond yields, the government can borrow money at 2.7% to fund the program, pocketing a profit...

The fight for keycard access has been a long and protracted one, with bureaucratic and administrative obstacles hindering its progress. But the House Masters’ previously-voiced concerns with UKA —including the lack of House guards at late hours, a feared loss of House spirit and the threat of so-called piggybacking of unwanted guests—have been repeatedly disproved. Quincy House and the first...
